Art History is both comprehensive and inclusive. Our goal has been to reach beyond the West to include a critical examination of the arts of other regions and cultures, pre-senting a global view of art through the centuries. We cover not only the world's most significant paintings and works of sculpture and architecture but also drawings, photographs,works in metal and ceramics, textiles, and jewelry. We have paid due respect to the canon of great monuments of the history of art, but we also have treated artists and artworks not previously acknowledged. We have drawn throughout on the best and most recent scholarship, including new dis-coveries (the prehistoric cave paintings in the Ardeche gorge in southern France, for example) and new interpretations of well-known works.
